New York's Cooper named MLS Player of the Week

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Kenny Cooper wrapped up the regular season on
Saturday with two goals to finish with 18 this season, second only to San Jose
Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski, and was named MLS Player of the Week on
Monday.

Wondolowski tied an MLS record with 27 goals this year, the only reason Cooper
took a backseat. Cooper scored twice in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Union,
securing the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs for New York.

Cooper has now won the award four times in his career. Teammate Thierry Henry
is the only other New York player to capture the award this year, earning the
honor on five occasions.

The MLS Player of the Week award is selected each week by the North
American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print,
television, radio media.
